Early model kits

Share this page

WOW!!! That's quite the collection.
I fondly remember my first TR3 kit in about 1960.
Today, I only have some models of prior Minis and current Frogeye. Some are Airfix, Tamiko and Revell.

Did make lots of models in my day though am currently really happy working in 1:1 scale.
 
Rick,


Got it - most of those kits seem to be reissues
of the originals.

1:1 is good... but the model glue just doesn't hold up. :laugh:

And to think I had an Airfix that I drove over! Wonder why.
 
I have 30-40 original, unopened kits that I got, via a wild hair, off of ebay. Guess when I can no longer do what I can do now, I will open them and go back to my childhood. I didn't build a lot of plastic when young - more into balsa wood and silkspan, gas powered control line and free flight.
 
FFSA, Jim?

A friend was Olympic with tow-line.
